[SOLVED] I need help to match the CPU into the motherboard

[Alledoy]

So im what you would call a begginer in PC building. I know the basics, but i get confused pretty often, so my question is will a i7-10700-K CPU fit into a MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboard? I plan on upgrading it from my i7-8700 non k later on, so it also matters if the i7 8700 fits inside.

No. That CPU will not work with that motherboard.

Thanks for the reply, though im getting confused all the time and trying to find a good motherboard that can support about six fans and an i7-i9 of the 8th-9th generation, can you recommend any? It'll be even better if it supports up to 3666mhz, sorry if im being too tiring.

I want to move my pc into an another case. And i need a new motherboard which will match my existing components because the current motherboard i have, supports only 1 case fan, and the case i want to buy to get better airflow and looks has 3 fans already equipped in it, also yeah, i just want better airflow so again i need more fans.
